Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00053 | $0.01281 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00641 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
bulk-widget-updates scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bulk Widget Property Updates
EXPERIMENTAL: These commands are an untested proof-of-concept. Always use
dry runfirst and backup your project before applying changes.
Use show widgets and update widgets to discover and modify widget properties across pages and snippets in bulk.
When to use which tool:
| Scope | Tool |
|---|---|
| One page, one or several related changes | alter page — see alter-page |
Many pages matched by WHERE filter (across one or more modules) |
update widgets (this skill) |
alter page is the right call for targeted, page-specific edits — it can combine set/insert/drop/replace in a single block. update widgets is for cross-page patterns like "set Class on every Container in MyMod" where naming each page explicitly would be tedious or error-prone.
Prerequisites
Widget commands require a full catalog build:
refresh catalog full;
SHOW WIDGETS - Discover Widgets
Basic Usage
-- Show all widgets
show widgets;
-- Filter by module
show widgets in MyModule;
-- Filter by widget type (case-insensitive LIKE)
show widgets where widgettype like '%combobox%';
-- Filter by name
show widgets where Name = 'myGrid';
-- Combine filters
show widgets where widgettype like '%DataGrid%' and Name like '%Overview%' in MyModule;
Output Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| NAME | Widget name (may be auto-generated) |
| WIDGET TYPE | Full widget type ID (e.g., com.mendix.widget.web.combobox.Combobox) |
| CONTAINER | Page or snippet qualified name |
| MODULE | Module name |
Common Widget Type Patterns
| Pattern | Matches |
|---|---|
%combobox% |
ComboBox widgets |
%datagrid% |
DataGrid2 and related widgets |
%textbox% |
TextBox widgets |
%dropdown% |
DropDown widgets |
%gallery% |
Gallery widgets |
UPDATE WIDGETS - Modify Properties
Syntax
update widgets
set 'propertyName' = value [, 'propertyName' = value ...]
where condition [and condition ...]
[in module]
[dry run];
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bulk-widget-updates is a skill published in the GitHub repository mendixlabs/mxcli (115 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,281 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
